How to choose a scent

Journal

Why the first minute lies, and what to do about it.

Give it an hour

The first minute of a scent is its top notes: citrus, spirit, whatever is lightest. They fade fast. What you will actually live with is the heart and base, which arrive after thirty minutes to an hour.

Try it on skin

Paper shows you the idea. Skin shows you the truth, because every skin changes a scent a little.
